Tammy's Tack and Feed

Tammy Bohl, owner of Tammy’s Tack and Feed in Suamico, loves everything about horses. That’s what prompted her five years ago to start a business which would provide necessary care items for the beautiful animals.

Two years later, the 42-year-old business owner decided to expand her store to include merchandise for men and women. “I have added the apparel because I love fashion,” Bohl said. “The rest evolved from customer requests.”
Today, customers can browse a full-size boutique in the front of her shop which includes gifts, apparel and accessories.
“The things we carry appeal to both horse and animal people. But we also have gifts and apparel for just about anyone,” said Kim Prill, who has worked at Tammy’s Tack and Feed over the last three years. Favorite items among female shoppers at Tammy’s Tack and Feed include the fashionable Miche purses with interchangeable shells. Women can pick up a pair of studded or embroidered jeans that resonate with the feel of “the modern West.”
Tammy’s Tack and Feed also offers several gift options, such as locally-made soaps and candles or jeweled pet collars. Hand-knit alpaca hats, gloves and socks, ideal for diabetics, are a rare and interesting find. There’s even a section for men, which includes sharp-looking collared shirts that women can pick up for their beau.
“We’re actually planning to expand the boutique this year,” said Prill, who will assist Bohl with the expansion. Prill said customers can look forward to new styles of jeans, printed T-shirts and a restock on their popular leather and fashion sandals. Cowboy boots, Bohl’s personal favorite, will continue to be available year-round and can be custom ordered.
